Ciro Marchetti’s artwork, “Hubble Bubble” has been charted and released today! While I’m not a fan of all steampunk-like art, I really love this one. My question to myself is this… can I complete 376,425 Xs before a certain physicist-o-mine adds “PhD” to his name?
Some restrictions do apply. As in he has to decide to if he will be going ahead with PhD work AND in astrophysics. If it’s not in astrophysics, then a telescope, as cool as this one is, just won’t be as applicable. I also wouldn’t start stitching until he officially starts working on this particular degree.
So can I do 376,425 Xs in the time it takes a 40-something year old to earn his PhD in astrophysics? *nibbles on her fingernails and nervously eyes the pages of the chart* I just thought I would mention that “Marchetti” and “confetti” rhyme and it’s quite applicable for most of the pages.
Stay tuned to see how things turn out! (10 skeins of 310…that’s what happens when it’s something in SPACE, Sue. DUH!)
ARE YOU INSANE!!!!!
silly question…
its massive and scary, i looked at the chart..
will you be abkle to abandon all your chatelaines, old masters, pale comparisson , peacock garden etc to stitch it??
not that i want to deter you…lol

Of course I’m insane! It will take him a minimum of six years (astrophysics takes a bit longer than physics) so I will be able to rotate in some other stuff.

August 21, 2008 @ 8:06 pmSO when do you start??
It is big, no doubt about it but if you love it and so does he (I am assuming he does) then every little x will be a labour of love and you can do it. That said, it should not require a PHD in order for you to do it, it could also be your 30th wedding anniversary gift (grin) that would give you enough time…right?
August 23, 2008 @ 9:10 pmWoohoo I say do it!!!
That way you ill both be as crazy as ever, lets face it anyone mad enough to do a PhD let alone one in astrophysics is bonkers
Sorry I have been so quiet lately but I have still loved looking at your gorgeous piccies even if I am too lazy to say so o_O *hugs*
